Okay so I got a laptop that had Windows Home Premium on it and I loaded IIS to it. I had it running wireless, I bought a domain name forwarded it to my IP and I opened Port 80 in my router my server started working. It worked for a day and a half. I was there on Friday Morning and it still worked I came back Friday Afternoon and it had lost Internet Connection... I decided that I was going to try again but this time I would like to make sure my network it secure and to give it internet Hard-wired. So I do not have any cord left. Except the bit that is being used on my desktop. I don't know what type to buy. But I did read on the cord "AWM" and "Patch cord"

" - Actual words written.

You are running a webserver... on a laptop... over wireless?

You'd be better off getting a Pentium II or III desktop. With that setup you are running every bottleneck!

The reason you lost connection is probably because the Windows OS had the network (Ethernet adapter) set to run on power settings, which allowed the OS to turn the device off. Patch Cord, is Ethernet Cable. Cat6. It's just an Ethernet cable.

Well... That's why I am switching to Ethernet, I still have 2 empty ports on my router. And I needed to know that information in order to buy more cord. Also when my server was working (lol...) I had it foword with masking to my IP address. Which was nice because it still left the domain name in the browser bar, but the text in it did not change when I clicked a link. It only changed when I manually typed something. smile.gif

Bingo.

You should be able to pick one up at any local computer store, or hardware store for way less than $40.

Well I found a ten foot and it was seven dollars at TigerDirect.com. So It came in yesterday, and I plugged it in to the laptop and router and it connected perfectly but it says Access is Local only. I tested it and It doesn't have Internet Access. I adjusted the router settings to give the device web access, and now it says Access: Local and Internet for about ten seconds but then I test it and still don't have access. I'm sure there is something I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

What IP address are you being assigned by the router?

Using nslookup, can you get ip addresses?

Windows instructions for getting IP: Start->Run->CMD->push enter->type ipconfig->push enter. Your ip is the one listed next to IPv4 address, because no one understands what the hell IPv6 even does.

It's your equipment, so you should know how you set it up.

If you don't know, check the documentation for your equipment.

First of all what is nslookup? Second is it a program you get off the internet? Because I can't get internet access with the server that's why I'm asking here. 3rd will nslookup tell you your ip on the internet? And last what would my ip have to do with this?

You're getting an ip address assigned to your laptop from your router. This is a non-routable address. Meaning that you are not directly connected to the internet. The command nslookup will request (via your isp) that they resolve & return the ip address for a domain name. It's standard troubleshooting to assure that you have a live internet connection, because the request is outside of your network & if it comes back, both inbound & outbound traffic are working.

To run this, click on start -> run & type in cmd. Once the dos prompt is open, type nslookup google.com & report back what that returns.

To lookup your external, routable ip address assigned to you by your isp, you can view this either on your router or by checking any website on the internet that offers this serve. These sites are easy to find by doing a google search for "What is my IP?"

From the command prompt try the following :

CODE

telnet google.com 80


After about 10 seconds of the screen being black, hit cntrl-c. Does it dump html code?

If it does not, try going to an https site, like paypal https://paypal.com. Let me know how all of those work out.

Try this, check whether you have this in system variables path,

Right Click My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> Environment Variables --> Edit System variables Path

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;

now try using telnet. icon_up.gif
